they should not be allowed on the road

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7499804.stm


the clip appears to have been shot after she passed her test and she still appears to be having concentration issues, waving at folk, and apparently the instructor had to grab the wheel in the earlier, pre edit version that was released just as she was exiting the gate. Shocked

Obvious some people don't pass first time, but allowing this to continue is utter madness, she'll crash before long am sure, I just hope there is no one injury or worse Evil or Very Mad Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

at least you have to pass a test to tow things nowadays

if it took that long (and I needed to take the test) I wouldn't be a caravaner, I'd be a motorhomer Very Happy Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Cg you would have been proud of me yesterday.
I was talking to some guy who ws telling me about this latest thing for caravans-motors on the wheels so you can effectively park it in your drive without using your car.
I said you know what I would do if I had a caravan?
He said no what?
I said drive it to the Isle of Man, fill it with 40 pounds of semtex, and blow the Censored thing up.


He didn't laugh....... Whistle

I am not a caravan owner or will I ever be one, but that dos not mean I hate them, well no more than other slow things on the road (if that is the reason for hating them). However what is more annoying is being stuck behing some B CensoredY farmer in a F CensoredG tractor on a main road in the middle of the day holding up all the traffic Evil or Very Mad
They are probably the main reason for head on collisions by frustrated non-vaner drivers like you and me.
They should be banned from the roads during normal driving hours Laughing 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

I'm ignoring the caravan stuff !

Back to the story, given this ladies obvious problem with concentration I think it was irresponsible to put the camera in the car with her and encourage her to talk while driving. Shocked

i thought that too Shocked

I think cases like this should have to have a camera installed, just like a lot of buses do, to record her driving and have it reviewed to see if she is still fit to drive, if she ever was. Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
